Farmer stoned to death, women’s throats slashed…

… An 80-year-old farmer is stoned to death in Hazyview and his wife raped; a female biker is stabbed in the neck; a road-stall owner ‘s throat is slashed; two pregnant women are maltreated at two Gauteng hospitals; 200 hospital elevators are broken absolutely permanently and nobody knows when they will be replaced; a woman loses her six-week foetus while stuck in the Johannesburg Hospital elevator; a farmer attended a self-defence course last year and shoots dead a farm attacker whose gun had failed several months later; a Pretoria caretaker at the Madeira Club’s face is beaten to a pulp by a huge lynch mob in front of his wife, probably a case of mistaken identity; and police absolutely refused to help the victim of a road-rage attack which could have ended very badly.

20090107 Farmer, 80, stoned to death, wife raped, Kruger Park gate

An 80-year-old farmer of Hazyview near the Kruger game reserve in South Africa was stoned to death by armed attackers on Sunday.He remains unnamed because the farmer 's wife then was raped by both killers. The killers had been there before: they attacked the farm two months ago and raped the wife during that occasion, too.Police constable Mpho Koli of the Hazeyview police said two men attacked the elderly couple at noon. Their farm is located near the Phabeni-entrance to the world-famous Kruger game reserve. "The men demanded money, but when they couldn't find any with the couple, they stoned the old man to death,' said the police constable.Koli said the bereaved widow recognised one of the attackers as the same person who had also raped her in November 2008. http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2450513,00.html

Marietjie Louw Carstens reports in Beeld that 50-year-old farm stall owner Stephina Ledwaba, 50, of Rooipoort farm had her throat cut from ear to ear by a 30-year-old man who pretended to be her customer.Police have arrested the man after residents came across her bloodied corpse late Wednesday-afternoon next to the Rooipoort farm-stall outside Potgietersrus.The man fled with an unknown, small amount of cash. The unnamed man was arrested on the farm, where he was hiding in the bush.http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2450501,00.html

Beeld journalist Buks Viljoen writes that 44-year-old Afrikaner farmer Nico van Staden was saved by a farm attacker's rusty handgun - which failed to fire when the man tried to fire a third shot at him.Van Staden didn't hesitate: he had the chance to grab his own gun and shoot back, killing the unnamed attacker. The farmer and his children Nieke (9) and Rikus (15) were visiting with their neighbour Kobus Maré. They stopped at the farm gate at 8pm to open it, when Van Staden got attacked on the driver's side. The farmer slammed open his bakkie's door and hit the man standing there with the gun, and the two grappeled. Only then did he realise that one of his comrades was also attacking him from behind."This guy fired two shots at me. When he tried to pull the trigger a third time, the gun failed'.

And those few seconds were just enough to grab his own legal handgun from its hip holster and fire back.The man was hit in the chest and dropped down dead on the spot. Van Staden also fired towards the comrades but they ran off.The rusty handgun was dropped.Police traced it as one which had been 'stoilen from the police'. They believe it was this rusty because it was buried for a while.During the attack Mrs Martie van Staden, 43, was attending a funeral in Cape Town. She returned home yesterday morning.The children now are terrified of being on the farm, he said.They spent the night at the neighbour's house.Van Staden said he had attended self-defence courses by the Wonderfontein farmers' Union late last year with other area farmers.The union's Ernst van den Berg these 'had clearly helped'.Police superintendent Abie Khoabane said they also picked up the magazine of a second handgun, a 9mm, with seven bullets near the farm gate. http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2450560,00.html

J an 8 2009 Beeld journalist Hilda Fourie reports that a 39-year-old secretary, Mrs Mathilda Barnard, 39, was found stabbed in bleeding in the veldt next to her field-bike near Pretoria yesterday.A biker came across the attacked woman, who was unconscious and bleeding badly.Mrs Barnard of Pierre van Ryneveld, is in the intensive-care unit of Unitas Hospital. She is the secetary of Pretoria attorney Koos van Rensburg - whose ballerina-daughter Estée van Rensburg, 19, was murdered in a gruesome murder attack at her parental home in Faerie Glen last year.Mrs Barnard had been training for the past few months in preparation for the Sani Two Sea biking marathon next month. Her future father-in-law John Williams (61) said he'd often gone with her on training runs.On Wednesday they were planning to ride with a Centurion mountain bike club from Doringkloof shopping centre, he said.He phoned her around 4:40pm, but her cellphone just kept ringing. However they thought that she probably was enroute and the bikers decided to take the route to meet her there.They first found her water-carrier on the path they were riding on.Her son Morne, 20, was riding ahead and came across her mother, blood-soaked and unconscious, next to a barbed wire fence and her bike.She had a stab wound to the left side of her neck and blood streamed from her right arm and leg.An elderly man was seated next to her who had apparently come across her and had already sent somebody to fetch help, waiting while it arrived, said Williams.Nothing of value is stolen except her cellphone. Williams says he's very, very angry. 'Why was all this violence necessary? Why stab her for just a cellphone?'Mrs Barnard and Grant Williams are planning to marry in August. She also has a daughter, Odette, 16.Lyttelton police station commander dir. André Wiese said they are 'investigating a robbery case'.He said nothing about investigating attempted murder.http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2450568,00.html

Jan 08 2009 Beeld journalist Hilda Fourie reports that Francois Jacobs (35) needed reconstructive surgery to his face at the Pretoria Academic Hospital after his face was smashed in by a large crowd in New Year's day.His wife, who was with him throughout the evening, said a large group of men attending a party at the Madeira Portuguese Social Club had attacked him and 'kicked him around like a football', claiming that the victim had been harassing several women sexually.Mrs Jacobs said she was with him all night and denied the accusations.He is the caretaker of the Heartfelt-arena at Eeufees Road in Voortrekker Heights, next to the monument.The Madeira club held a New Year's party attended by about 1,600 people.Mrs Jacobs said her husband was managing the party as part of his job.Their apartment is on the terrain of the club. Early in the New Year, when the party was very rowdy, Mr Jacobs went to the toilets to replace the toilet rolls and locked his family in their flat for their own safety.A few minutes later she looked from the window and saw a large crowd chasing a man, kicking him and beating him. It was dark, she wasn't sure but thought it was her husband, and phoned his colleague Eugene Pienaar jr. asking him to go and look for him.About 40 minutes later Pienaar showed up at the apartment and said he'd found Francois badly beaten up at the backdoor.He was out of breath and his face was beaten into a pulp. She didn't recognise his face but knew it was him because of the clothes."They kicked him around like a football, I picked up his teeth, which were beaten out of his mouth, at the backdoor'.The president of the Madeira social club made the claim that he'd had 'seven complaints' from women saying Jacobs had fondled them.De Freitas said he had difficulty believing this because he knew Jacobs as a kind and helpful man.He'd heard that 'a group of men had gotten together, chased him and beaten him, but I wasn't there and didn't see it,' he said.http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2450565,00.html

Beeld journalist Hilda Fourie reports from Pretoria North that a 22-year-old trucker Zander van Biljon was beaten in the face and sjambokked by a road-rager near Centurion.The man in a white VW Jetta, had started harassing him when Van Biljoen was driving from Centurion on the N14 at around 6.45 pm Tuesday-night and forced him off the road.Van Biljon said what made it even worse, was that the police stopped at the scene -- and refused to assist him while he was being assaulted. The police drove past the scene, spoke to the attackers - and then accused van Biljon of beating the road-rager.Van Biljon said the road-ragers clearly were drunk, but the police just got into their car and drove off, saying it was merely a 'road-rage incident'.He lodged an assault charge at the Pretoria Central police station."It's not about the assault any more, it's about the fact that the police are supposed to help the public, yet they don't even listen to your complaint,' he said.http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2450562,00.html

Beeld journalist Riëtte Olivier reports from Port Elizabeth that a terrified young teenager, Rochele Calitz, 14, spent three days seated in a chair in the emergency room of the Nora Nginza-hospitaal in Port Elizabeth - in labour.The child was refused a bed, given no pain medication and the staff initially refused to let a doctor examine her, even though she was very frightened and in great pain.Her mother Annelize Smit said she wasn't allowed by the security guard to be with her terrified girl when a doctor finally was found to examine her.Mrs Smit said it was clear that the nursing staff didn't have any knowledge of maternity care.She said the nurse told her after examination that she'd gone into labour but then changed her mind.Dr. Aydin Vehbi, medical superintendent, said "visitors' are indeed not allowed during the birthing process.http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2450722,00.html

200 Hospital elevators in Gauteng are broken – forever

Beeld journalist Herman Scholtz reports that Mrs Carolina Gumede, 26, who was stuck in the Johannesburg Hospital elevator for over an hour, has lost her six-week-old foetus.She was freed at 10am Wednesdaymorning and doctors tried for an hour to safe her baby's life. Her husband Musa, 31, a worker and several other people who were stuck with her, said Mrs Gumede apparently became very frightened and claustrophobic and fainted.She started bleeding and, although doctors tried to save the baby after her ordeal, Khumalo said they'd lost their child.She hasn't spoken a word since, he said. The hospital hasn't even bothered to contact him about the incident.

The Democratic Alliance's health spokesman Jack Bloom slammed the department of public works, who said their poor maintenance is directly to blame for the incident. In December, only FOUR of all 21 elevators were still working. We'd been promised in August that new elevators would be installed by MEC Ignatius Jacobs.Nothing has happened, he said.

The problem is however much bigger than just this one hospital: Alfred Nhlapo, spokesman for the public works department, says there are 200 elevators broken down in the provincial hospital right now.They have already 'started with the process to remove the old ones and install the new ones,' he said.Two years ago, the department canned the contractors of black-economic empowerment contrators and created a central emergency system from with technicians are dispatched to carry out emergency repairs.Those who were stuck in the elevator on Tuesday said the thing just didn't work: nobody responded to their alarm, the intercom system didn't work and the emergency call centre clearly was not manned, either.Nobody answered the phone there, they said.

Nhlapo couldn't say either - he was, he said, 'on vacation' and 'didn't have the particulars'.And the hospital's caretaker-executive also wasn't there: he has to run from hospital to hospital and wasn't in his office to give comment.The newspaper didn't get much response from the Gauteng health department either. Its spindoctor Phumelele Kaunda confirmed that something like it may have happened, but those people were 'only stuck in that elevator for 45 minutes at the most.'They are, she said, 'investigating'. http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2450520,00.html

What is Genocide?

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The term "genocide" was coined by legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in 1943, writing:

'Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actionsaiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of personal security, liberty, health, dignity and lives of the members of such groups...
